We bring market knowledge, analytics, and operating experience to the table to help your team manage its key business challenges — quickly.

Success depends as much on a solid back office as a clear strategy — resourced for the current needs of the organization, structured to support growth. We build the finance and accounting capabilities that accelerate operations, and we get them in place fast.

Build & Mentor the Team

The baseline responsibility of the CFO: recruit, manage, and lead the finance and accounting team. We assess the function you have, define the function you need, hire and mentor into the gap, and leave behind a team that runs — whether we stay at the table or hand off to your first full-time CFO.

Source, Manage, Lead

Optimized workflows, staged to fit your circumstances. A client-focused quote-to-cash process. A streamlined working capital cycle. Sound internal controls. We bring a continual-improvement mindset and a bias for best practices to the operational machinery of finance — the unglamorous work that makes everything downstream trustworthy.

Plan & Forecast

Budgeting and rolling forecasts. Scenario and sensitivity modeling. Liquidity and cash management. An operating plan that stays current — the foundation everything else stands on.

Analyze & Report

Management reporting tuned to how you run the business. KPI design and dashboards. Margin and revenue analytics. Board and investor packages: P&L, balance sheet, and cash flows your audience can actually use.

Fund & Grow

Capital adequacy and structure. Raise preparation and support. Investor relations. Risk management. When shareholders want outcomes, we help you run a professional process.

We are the plan, not the project.

ALA clients retain us to contribute as part of the team — a finance seat at the table providing that voice and perspective. We are advisory and execution: we strategize, and we pick up a shovel. We are not project consultants; there are fine firms we’re glad to recommend for point solutions. Our focus is the day-to-day financial management that moves your plan forward.
